1156: …AND YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE SELF APPOINTED GODS OF TODAY ARE LESS EVIL?

December 29, 2012 marked the 122nd
Anniversary of the murder of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the
Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South
Dakota. These 297 people, in their winter camp, were
murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to
confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection”. The slaughter
began AFTER the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms.
When the final round had flown, of the 297 dead or dying, two thirds (200) were
women and children.

Around 40 members of the 7th Cavalry
were killed, over half cut down by friendly fire from the Hotchkiss guns of
their overzealous comrades-in-arms. Twenty members of the 7th Cavalry were
deemed “National Heros” and awarded the Medal of Honor for their acts of
cowardice.

We do not hear of Wounded
Knee today. It is not mentioned in our history classes or books.
What little does exist about Wounded Knee is
normally the sanitized “Official Government Explanation” or the historically
and factually inaccurate depictions of the events leading up to the massacre on
the movie screen.

Wounded Knee was among the first
federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in
the senseless murder of 297 people.

Before you jump on the emotionally
charged bandwagon for gun-control, take a moment to reflect on the real purpose
of the Second Amendment- The right of the people to take up arms in defense of
themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies or an
oppressive government. The argument that the Second Amendment only applies to
hunting and target shooting is asinine. When the United
States Constitution was drafted “hunting” was an everyday
chore carried out by men and women to put meat on the table each night, and
“target shooting” was an unheard of concept, musket balls were a precious
commodity in the wilds of early America,
and were certainly not wasted “target shooting”. The Second Amendment was
written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes in Europe, and
refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defense purposes
should such tyranny rise in the United
States.

As time goes on the average citizen in
the United States
continues to lose personal freedom or “liberty”. Far too many times unjust
bills are passed and signed into law under the guise of “for your safety” or
“for protection”. The Patriot Act signed into law by G.W. Bush, then expanded
and continued by Barack Obama is just one of many examples of American citizens
being stripped of their rights and privacy for “safety”. Now, the Right to Keep
and Bear Arms is on the table, and will, most likely be taken away for “our
safety”.

Before any American citizen blindly
accepts whatever new firearms legislation that is about to be doled out, they
should stop and think about something for just one minute-Evil does exist in
our world. It always has and always will. Throughout history evil people have
committed evil acts. In the Bible one of the first stories is that of Cain
killing Abel. We can not legislate “evil” into extinction. Good people will
abide by the law, defective people will always find a way around it.

And another thought Evil exists all
around us, but looking back at the historical record of the past 200 years
across the globe, where is “evil” and “malevolence” most often found? In the
hands of those with the power- governments. That greatest human tragedies on
record and the largest loss of innocent human life can be attributed to
governments. Who do governments target? “Scapegoats” and “enemies” within their
own borders…but only after they have been disarmed to the point where they are
no longer a threat. Ask any Native American, and they will tell you it was
inferior technology and lack of arms that contributed to their demise. Ask any
Armenian why it was so easy for the Turks to exterminate millions of them, and
they will answer “We were disarmed before it happened”. Ask any Jew what
Hitler’s first step prior to the mass murders of the Holocaust was-
confiscation of firearms from the people.

Wounded Knee is the prime example of why
the Second Amendment exists, and why we shouldn’t be in such a hurry to
surrender our Right to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we have no right
to defend ourselves and our families.

EPILOGUE: Obama, you insignificant lil' flea, you cannot defeat me! I am backed by a fella, who had spikes driven in both hands and feet, then he was hung on timbers and the only thing holding him up were those spikes, then he was stabbed and given up for dead, then he was entombed, then he walked out of that tomb and ascended up into the sky and after all of that he still lives today! Yes, this is my backing! What's yours? George Soros? I am laughing whole-heartily right now! How small you really are Obama! Oh yeah, if you think this fella backing me is something, I just can't wait 'til you meet his father! Good luck, hehehehehe!
